Shorewood boys went into District basketball tournament after finishing regular season with losses to Glacier Peak and Stanwood

Wednesday, February 6, 2013

The Shorewood boys’ basketball team opened Northwest District 3A tournament play at Oak Harbor Wednesday after losses to Glacier Peak and Stanwood last week dropped the Thunderbirds from second place to third in the Western Conference 3A South and out of position for a home-court first-round tournament game.

Shorewood took a 9-4 Wesco 3A record, 14-6 overall) into the first-round game at Oak Harbor Wednesday. The winner advances to a District semifinal game Saturday, Feb. 9, at 6pm at Jackson High School in Mill Creek against the winner of a Wednesday game between Wesco 3A South champion Mountlake Terrace and Wesco 3A North No. 3 Marysville Getchell.

Here’s the Tuesday, Jan. 29, story from our news partner, The Seattle Times 
Boys’ Basketball: Glacier Peak crushes No. 9 Shorewood, 61-35 
Glacier Peak left no doubt. 
The Grizzlies cruised to a 61-35 boys' basketball win over No. 9 Shorewood in a Wesco 3A South game. 
The key for Glacier Peak was shutting down Josh Hawkinson. The 6-foot-9 Shorewood senior entered the game averaging 20.1 points, but was limited to 14 — only four in the second half. 
Hawkinson, who has committed to Washington State, barely touched the ball in the first quarter. He finally scored on a put-back with 1:05 remaining in the quarter.
